The diff looks good to me, I will try to build the packages now (takes a
bit since I'm doing it on a 486 which has no X installed ATM, so the build
dependencies will take time installing).
Speaking of build dependencies: There is no libgtkhtml2-dev, I suppose you
mean libgtkhtml-dev. Also, leave out the shared library dependencies, for
two reasons:
- If the maintainer of the shlib package thinks it is a good idea to have
the library statically linked (happens sometimes with C++ libraries
that don't have a stable API yet), he might still provide a shared
library package for the people who need it but leave out the dependency
from the -dev package to the library package so only the static library
is available at build time.
- If the library major version changed since the ABI changed in an
incompatible way but there is still source compatibility (for example,
an accessor function went from inline to virtual), your package will
fail build dependencies, but might otherwise build fine.
